Our mind possesses immense power. When we are calm and positive, it can guide us towards success and fill our lives with joy. Conversely, when we are depressed and negative, it can lead us to failure and leave us feeling miserable. Thus, it is crucial to learn how to manage our minds and maintain a sense of calm.
But maintaining control is far easier said than done. Quite often, rather than feeling in control of our minds, we feel they are controlling us. Practicing Tai Ji and Qigong can help us master our minds and improve the quality of life in general.
Why practicing Tai Ji and Qigong can help us master our minds?
It is because when you practice Tai Ji or Qigong, your mind is focused on your movements or your breath. It helps you to avoid being stuck in delusional, distorted, and negative thinking patterns, avoid depression, and be in a tranquil state. When you are calm, your mind is sharper and works better.
The simplest Qihong exercise is called ZhanZhuang, or static Qigong. Here is a static Qigong exercise called ‘Five Elements‘ o learn more about the static Qigong and Zhan Zhuang, I recommend reading this book: ”Qigong for Better Mind and Body Health“. Here is a free sample of the book.
Our minds can enslave us or empower us. Practicing Tai Ji and Qigong can train your mind to empower you.
